DDH Cryptid Haze
Phase Three Brewing Company

Appearance: Pours a murky goldenstraw with a two finger head that emerges from the crypt; solid retention and clumps of lacing

Smell: Pineapple, white wine grape and pine

Taste: Juicy pineapple forward with developing white wine grape flavors that wind up shoving aside the sweeter elements; moderately bitter with a piney finish though there is a residual sweetness lingering into the aftertaste

Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate to high carbonation

Overall: An intersting mix of juicy pineapple that takes a turn south to the white wine grape
